24 comments, zero about the American/Israeli genocide. Stay classy yanks!

It's relevant because understanding the root cause of the war is critical to defending your mind from the propaganda you're being constantly subjected to.

Up to a week before the invasion Ukraine was threatening to install nukes and minimise Russia's response time. This is a security threat that no state can tolerate. You know full well that the USA wouldn't tolerate anything remotely similar.

This war was started by the USA overthrowing Ukraine's democracy in 2014 and installing a puppet Banderite Nazi government designed to be a proxy for NATO to threaten Russia. The US believed they could take over Russia again and loot and pillage it like they did in the 90s. They lost control of it with the Iraq war, when Putin refused to help them murder a million plus Iraqis. He was supposed to be their tame, controlled dictator of the place that they were selling off to their oligarchs for pennies.

This was all well understood and known before the massive propaganda avalanche after the 2022 invasion (that Russia tried to avoid for the 8 years prior). Absurd repetition of the "Unprovoked" invasion, reinventing history to spin a yarn about Russia just deciding to invade to steal land etc.

• Former German Chancellor Merkel Admits that Minsk Peace Agreements Were Part of Scheme for Ukraine to Buy Time to Prepare for War With Russia
• Zelensky admits he never intended to implement Minsk agreements

Most people think they're immune to propaganda, or that it's just not happening to them, it happens to people in foreign countries.

Here's the news before the invasion:

These are all western sources. This was real reporting. I think the question you have to answer is were they lying then? Or are they lying now?

So much chatter lately along these lines. Seems like the west is about to do the Toy Story meme and drop the puppet.

No. People should fight for what they believe in, not got someone else's beliefs. If you can't convince them then that's your problem.

Instilled fear in potential future whistleblowers.

Hints at supporting sanctions? He's threatened to defund the UN, the World Food Programme and 'starve the world' if the UN recognizes a Palestinian state.

But the thing that's happening in Xinjiang that there's no evidence for, that's totally a genocide. Trust me bro.

He can be Gaddafi'd in the street. Fuck that piece of shit to death with a bayonet. Just

Fuck you, piece of shit imperialist. You're as bad as the Zionists.

I also condemn Hamas.

Pathetic. How dare they resist their genocide!? Uppity bastards.

Even when you're trying to pretend to be some kind of supporter of justice you still can't hide that you're an ugly removed.

You don't understand that the only danger of further war is again from US/NATO. Europe is going to let Ukraine fall because it has no choice. France is a laughing stock. Even what they threatened to send could do nothing.

In the case of shells, the problem isn’t money, it’s lack of production capacity. Even the mighty USA, owner of the largest military-industrial complex in the world, can only produce 28,000 rounds of 155mm per month – less than 10pc of what Ukraine needs – and this with its factories on 24-hour operation.

Comment from the Torygrapgh readership:

“Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you capitalists do not. You move to an area and you exploit and exploit until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Capitalism is a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.”

"Suspicion haunts the guilty mind." in Ireland. Don't know if it's an Irish saying translated to English like many others.

Putin's propaganda is that the invasion of Ukraine is to denazify Ukraine.

No that's Biden's propaganda. Putin only mentioned it along with a laundry list of reasons. But besides, Ukraine's ultranationalism is heavily based on Nazism.
